Pesto is one of the most versatile and tasty sauces around!

You can purchase prepared pesto just about anywhere, or whip some up fresh in just a couple minutes. Simply whiz together a bunch of fresh basil, some pine nuts (or whatever kind of nuts you happen to have around), a few grates of parmesan, a clove or two of garlic, olive oil and salt. That’s it!

Recently, I received this tasty little jar of pesto, straight from Italy, in my monthly Try The World subscription box. It got me thinking all about the pesto possibilities! Pesto on pasta, pizza, panini? Where else could I use this delicious Italian sauce? Well, I turned to YOU for ideas! Here are some of your best ideas, along with a sprinkling of my own, for using up your pesto!

12. Last, but certainly not least, pesto stirred into, or dolloped on top of (or both), polenta is simply divine!
